| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Grannyring,Grant Fidelity sells them. Grant FidelityOccasionally you can find them on Agon ... search for Shuguang. They require at least 200 hours of breakin. My MW Transporter runs in class A so I just use my stock rectifier tube and leave it on... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yikes!!! Thanks for the info Pubul57. Mine works fine so far but will keep an eye on it while charging from now on. Maybe there was a bad batch of chargers ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I ordered 2 Lithium battery supply on ebay, Item number: 190459066434, recommended by George when I ordered my LSA. It's only $13.45 shipped from HK and I too prefer it over the wall-wart for the same un-describable reasons :-) | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? From my experience, I found the SC made the most impact, then IC between amp to pre, lastly pre to dac.Also if you have bi-wired speakers, throw away the jumpers and get 2 separate runs. The improvements are simply amazing.BTW, some ASI owners are... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp In my MW Transporter, my favorite 6sn7 type tube is the Shuguang BT CV181-Z. It has a TRL house sound. Neutral, tansparent, great extension in both ends, musical ... Many MW Transporter owners prefer it over the TS RP 6sn7gt.Check with Paul if com... | |
| Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system? Ecosse_011172, try ASI Liveline. It's relative inexpensive, made in France and it replaced/blew away all my much more expensive cables. Read the 6 moons and Stereo Times reviews ... DEAD accurate. In my system it sounds both excellent with tube an... | |
| EAR 890 amp bridged as mono blocks Dungn, in Robert Levi review, this is how to run them in mono."The stereo 890 becomes a monoblock with the click of two outboard switches and the connection of an external strap, which should be a 24-inch length of speaker wire identical to your n... | |
| Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa? From my experiences, I STRONGLY DISAGREE with both Schipo and Alexs. | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. 01-16-11: CellcbernI have tested the Pavane/Psvane 12AX7's against NOS Mullards, Telefunkens, Amperex, and Mazda 12AX7's in my Pathos Acoustics TT RR integrated. The Shuguang tubes were the best all around, although the Mazdas were close. Are your... | |
| Tubed preamp with Krell KSA 150 amp? All I've used with my Krell KSA100s, FPB300 and FPB600 are tube preamps and never had any problems. The only issue I encountered is some tube preamp output impedance is too high and as a result, sound is dull and lacking LF/HF.If you like MW, Dan ... | |
| Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II Pops, congratulations in your purchase. I bought my Andra II new ~3 years ago and still very happy with them. 3 years is an eternity for me :-) It took me a while to dial in the placement and I know every room, system ... are different so JFYI, I ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 01-06-11: Pubul57I understand why a moving coil cartridge would need gain (and RIAA equalization) to create a sense of drive and dynamics, but why would a 2 volt signal need any gain to drive an amp that plays at maximum output with 1v of input? I... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 01-06-11: Pubul57"LSA is not an empty box..." Pretty close though.So another passive with less parts count than LSA is superior? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? FiddlerIf you have a Lightspeed, open it up. Then open your active. See which one is closer to a straight wire. You already know the answer. It's not even close :)Is LSA the only component in your system? What if the total parts count in a system ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09, I see you point. Removing one sonic signature will improve the overall accuracy of the orig source ... one less to muck it up. For me, when dealing with so many sonic signatures in a system, removing one is not very significant to the over... |
